I hate questions like that. I always just verify the date.
I tried! But feel dumb asking again. Now I'm just going to see if she shows up on Saturday or not.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So that means the 16th, right??
I have no idea! Follow up with "day after tomorrow?"

The next vs this debate raged on unresolved for thirty years between Hubby and I.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I go with "next Saturday" means the soonest coming Saturday. The Saturday after that is "a week Saturday" or "Saturday week."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I go with avoiding saying "next Saturday" like the plague, since I can never be sure what the other person will understand by it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Why would next Saturday be this Saturday? Next Saturday is a week from now.
This is an unsatisfactory area of language.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Seriously, this is why I get super specific, like "this Saturday, the 16th, 2 days from now." (To which Tim will invariably -- and 100% seriously, bless his heart -- reply, "NEXT Saturday?")

I'm having flashback twitches.

I give dates. Why leave it up to a possible mistake when specificity is an option?
